Justin Evans says Julio Jones is 'everything you want in a receiver'

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to face another tough challenge when they take on the Atlanta Falcons at Raymond James Stadium Monday night. This will be the second time the two teams face eachother this season and the Bucs will be certainly be looking for redemption after Atlanta crushed the Buccaneers in their previous matchup.

One of the Falcons most dangerous weapons hands down is wide receiver Julio Jones, who is undoubtedly one of the best receivers in the game. Bucs rookie safety Justin Evans, who has three interceptions so far this season, will be tasked with trying to contain Jones & Co. and hopefully disrupt the passing game.

During Thursday’s press conference at One Buc Place, Evans said he’s ready to embrace the challenge and do everything in his power to contain Jones and the Falcons explosive offense.

“Once you actually play him you get to really see for yourself,” Evans said of the type of player Jones is. “It’s fun because it’s a challenge. He’s big, physical, fast, great hands, he can back up routes – whatever you would want in a guy and a receiver. That’s why he’s so great.”
